Under Australian laws, it is illegal to use a still (of any capacity) to distil alcohol, for example spirits, without an excise manufacturer licence from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Penalties may apply. It is also illegal to buy, make, possess, or sell a still without permission from the ATO if it has a capacity over five litres.
